There are many benefits to adding seaweed (good quality seaweed) to your diet. Seaweed is known as an algae and is rich in vitamins and minerals, aids digestions, contains antioxidants, fibre and probiotics. Most interestedly, it is packed with iodine which is important for thyroid functions.

If you are on a plant based diet it is often hard to get enough iodine. That is why integrating seaweed into your weekly food intake can keep your levels at a healthy state. You also have to be careful to not have too much iodine as this too can cause thyroid issues. So if you feel like you might be out of balance, make sure you speak to a professional practitioner to see where your levels are at.

In a food processor, ‘rice’ the cauliflower and beetroot into rice-sized pieces by pulsing. Make sure not to over-processes the cauliflower doing it in smaller batches to ensure you get a good consistency.

Salt the mixture and mix together to make sure it is all covered. Leave for 10 minutes.

Using a clean cloth or chux, squeeze the liquid out of the mixture. Do small batches at a time. You need to squeeze quite hard.
